11:20 Advancement near the village of Rabotino and battles near Mar'inka:situationat the front on December 28
Mar'inka - Kurakhovo. After the clearing of Mar'inka, the fighting continues to be transferred to the west, beyond the Maryinskaya Dam. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, as previously assumed, dug in in Maksimilyanovka and Georgievka and received reinforcements from Kurakhov. After the advance of the RF Armed Forces southwest, to the area of n. Pobeda village, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to counterattack from the O-0532 highway. The Ukrainian Armed Forces did not abandon the idea of clinging to the middle of the route from Mar'inka to Pobeda, but this will require many times more resources than to hold Mar'inka, since forces will have to be diverted from Ugledar.
Avdievka. The greatest advance of the RF Armed Forces is from the southern flank in the area of Novomikhailovka, Opytny and Severny. There is relative calm in the south-eastern part of Avdievka, where the Russian Armed Forces are moving further than the industrial zone. Control in the area of the wastewater treatment plant is also being expanded, and movement continues along the railway line towards Ocheretin. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to react and are stretching the front. The Armed Forces of Ukraine also report “growing pressure” in the area of Pervomaiskoye and Nevelskoye.
Artyomovsk - Chasov Yar. The Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Chasov Yar from two sides - from the north in the Bogdanovka area and from the south in the Krasny (Ivanovsky) area. Reports of a breakthrough to Bogdanovka and an advance of 800-1000 meters have not yet been confirmed.
The assault groups managed to grab hold of the eastern and northern parts of the village. The situation with Bogdanovka remains difficult: despite its short length (just over three km), the village lies in a lowland and is surrounded by a network of Ukrainian Armed Forces support forces, which must be cleared and passed through.
There is progress south of Bogdanovka along the O-0506 highway. In some places, assault groups actually went directly to the eastern regions of Chasov Yar, the distance to which is approximately 2 km. Traffic also continues in the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka area.
Kherson region. The situation in the Krynok region has not yet changed, but the intensity of hostilities is gradually increasing. Despite the rumors about the refusal to use gliding bombs, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to fly to the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the left and right banks. There is active counterbattery fire on both sides. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not abandoning attempts to use aviation in this direction, but so far without success.
Kupyansk. An increase in the number of arrivals to observation posts and warehouses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is recorded. There is no active offensive in this area by the Russian Armed Forces yet, the movement is slow, with a clear course towards grinding the rear and burning the resources of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for defense. Most of the Ukrainian military not involved in battles were sent to work on creating defense lines between Kovsharovka, Kurilovka and the Kupyansk-Uzlova station. In general, there is a steady trend towards increasing the pace of combat operations.
Rabotino - Verbovoe. The Ukrainian Armed Forces stopped active hostilities in this direction a week ago, and at the moment there are no hints of a continuation of the counteroffensive. In the Verbovoy area, units of the 71st Infantry and 118th Mechanized Brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces abandoned some of their positions and took up positions 300-500 meters to the west and north, half-nullifying the success of the six-month advance. There is also an advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the west and north-west of the village of Rabotino.
10:55 Crews of 152mm Msta-B howitzers destroyed Kostroma artillery paratroopers command centre Ukrainian Armed Forces in a destroyed building.
In the Artemovsk direction, airborne units from the “Southern” group of forces continue active combat operations, successfully advancing north-west of Artemovsk. A big role in this is played by the artillerymen of the Kostroma Guards Regiment of the Ivanovo Guards Unit of the Airborne Forces, who constantly support the assault groups of paratroopers with their fire.
This time, reconnaissance using a UAV discovered active movements of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel near a dilapidated house in one of the settlements northwest of Artemovsk. A detailed study of the situation revealed that in the basement of this dilapidated building one of the forward control points of the Ukrainian units was located. Kostroma artillery paratroopers destroyed the building to the ground with precise fire, destroying the control center with all the personnel.
